Is anyone else disappointed that you can't buy the wind-knitting device itself, only scarves knitted from the device? :)

I doubt it would be difficult to make. You can buy the knitting machine on amazon. They usually have a handle you can crank unless it is electric. Just attach a turbine to the handle.
I missed the (obvious) context and imagined an aircraft engine turbine attached.
High speed scarf-making!
you could, but the (original) website is from 2009...so probably not enough interest to keep that up. The old link is dead: https://windknittingfactory.bigcartel.com/
I'd be surprised/impressed if the knitting machine itself was a DIY project.
I know this is art, but to be overly reductive, it's the same as buying your electricity from a wind farm and using it to power your knitting machine.
I'm disappointed it doesn't make socks.
